The 10-lane Bengaluru – Nidaghatta – Mysuru section of NH-275 will be complete in October said Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari. In a series of tweets, the minister said work of the 117 km long stretch in the State of Karnataka being developed at a cost of Rs. 8,350 Crore is nearing completion.
The Minister said this road will substantially reduce the travel time from Bengaluru to Mysuru from the present 3 hours to 75 minutes only. It will enhance connectivity between the two important cities and provide an impetus to tourism and economy in the region.
This state of art project has multiple structures like 8 km long elevated corridor, 9 major bridges, 42 minor bridges, 64 underpasses, 11 overpasses, 4 ROBs and 5 bypasses which will ease out traffic congestion and significantly reduce pollution.
Mr. Gadkari said, “under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , various such infrastructure projects have been announced with great responsibility and it is our unwavering commitment to complete them in a corruption free, transparent and time-bound manner.”
